WWE SmackDown Spoilers: Complete Results and Analysis for July 11

As WWE wraps up its most recent set of television tapings in Canada, SmackDown rolls into Ottawa for a night of action headlined by a titanic battle between Roman Reigns and Rusev.

The two massive competitors last crossed paths in a Battle Royal to determine the final competitor in the Money in the Bank WWE World Heavyweight Championship match. Reigns won that battle, but Friday night, Rusev will look to win the war.

Chris Jericho returns to SmackDown for the second consecutive week, this time competing in a sanctioned match as he goes one-on-one with "The Viper" Randy Orton. Could Y2J net another victory over a former WWE champion this week, or would Orton halt his momentum? Would Bray Wyatt play a role in the outcome?

With so many key players in July 20's Battleground pay-per-view in the house Friday night, SmackDown is sure to be a night of exciting and energetic action.

Roman Reigns vs. Rusev is a huge main event. Given how over both Superstars are and how well they have been booked to this point, it is surprising that WWE opted to give away their first singles bout on an episode of SmackDown rather than saving it for Monday Night Raw.

The disqualification finish allows both men to escape unscathed and for WWE to retain the one big money match it has between future stars, if and when it chooses to go in that direction.

During Tuesday's Main Event broadcast, it was announced that Chris Jericho would take on Randy Orton in a huge marquee match Friday night. Almost immediately it became clear that the Wyatt Family would have some sort of role in the outcome of the match and that is exactly what happened.

The loss does not hurt Jericho, who may have defeated Orton were it not for the distraction from the Wyatt Family. More importantly, the feud is furthered, and Orton picks up a big win on his way to Battleground and the Fatal 4-Way WWE World Heavyweight Championship match.

The love triangle between Summer Rae, Layla and Fandango appears to wrap up Friday as the delightful Divas walk out on their former dance partner, leaving him to wonder if his selfish ways cost him both beautiful women. It is probably best for all involved, as the angle was clearly overstaying its welcome. Whether this leads to a new female companion for Fandango or not remains to be seen.

Bo Dallas' win over El Torito and Diego hopefully brings that story to a close as it has done nothing to help Dallas. If anything, it helped cool him momentarily. Hopefully, WWE Creative takes a more hands-off approach and lets him get over more organically again, regardless if it unexpectedly turns him babyface.

Overall, the show looks to be an entertaining one. Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins are noticeably missing, as are midcard stars like Dolph Ziggler, who is usually a staple of the Friday night program. In their place are what should be two very good matches involving Jericho, Orton, Reigns and Rusev, as well as the culmination of a months-long storyline between two the lovely Summer Rae and Layla.

It's a show worth going out of your way to catch, especially with Reigns and Rusev clashing for the first time in a singles match.
